This movie in our series of films relating to Japan is very interesting. First lets talk about the Plot though. The movie starts out with a family living in the city that seems to have it all. Except a good father to son relationship. The two are very separated in terms of parental bonding. A little bit later in the film there is some evidence to prove that the son Ryusei isn't related to his parents Ryota and Midori. So they have them tested and find out it is true. So they meet their real son named Keita and he has been raised by another family also. The two families are very different especially in father figures. So they meet up and eventually they swap kids to only realize the kid they raised feels more like their real child then their blood related child.
This movie is interesting in the topic it is dealing with and the emotions this plays with. For me I didn't feel all that invested in the movie but as soon as Ryota said to Ryusei about the other family loving him more you felt hurt for little Ryusei. There are also other areas where you feel for them but that one sticks out as the low blow. Of course though in the end you know what will happen but you still feel the journey they go through so for that the movie is pretty good!
